I will be boarding on the one immediately following, on Nov 25. I missed meeting you on Volendam earlier this year when Sharon @Sharon in AZ and I were on the Panama Canal cruise and you boarded on the San Diego segment. Sorry, Lisa @LAFFNVEGAS, I don't mean to hijack your thread. No, this is a 1 week only for me. Hopefully we will meet someday. Hijack over, Lisa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 5, 2023 Author #28 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I will get back on line later tonight to update but I wanted to play “What would order for Dinner tonight?” We are in Tamarind with a great view of the aft while we sail away. We have just ordered and have our glass of wine. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 0106 Posted November 5, 2023 #35 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Tamarind is a great way to start the cruise and avoid the 1st night chaos in the MDR. Since you only get 2 shrimp and 2 scallops, I’ll have both to start please. Szechwan shrimp will be my main even though it’s really not spicy. Dungeness crab will be my side although I’ve never found any crab in it. For dessert I’ll have my own selection of mango, mandarin and passion fruit sorbet because I really don’t like the choices in their selection of sorbets. Enjoy your cruise @LAFFNVEGAS Edited November 5, 2023 by 0106 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 5, 2023 Author #38 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Ok for what we had. We each had a couple of glasses of Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling, then I had the Shrimp and Lobster Pot Stickers, Tom had the tempura Shrimp and Chinese 5 Spice baby back Ribs, because Thanks Marcia Crafts 😊 then we both had the Wasabi Encrusted Filet mine as described and Tom’s No Wasabi Encrusted 😂, then Tom skipped dessert and I had the Yusu Cheesecake. We had an amazing server Aurora who remembers us frequently m Oosterdam and Westerdam. She worked in the Pinnacle Grill for many years. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieKIslandGirl Posted November 5, 2023 #40 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I think I’d try the Far East Legacy, 5 spiced ribs, chicken curry (would they add onion rings to that?) and sorbet. Yum! Have a great cruise! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 5, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It is definitely going to be an early night since we have been up since 3 am. Been a very good day. Everything went smoothly from flight, check in and getting on board. since we booked last minute we were Waitlisted for Early Dining Table for two. When we got on board we still had Open Dining but we were able to get Fixed with table for two. So the rest of the week for dining will work out well. Our stateroom is toward the aft on deck 4 with the extended larger balconies. They definitely feel smaller than the regular balcony cabins on the Vista Class. But the larger balcony makes up for the smaller space. Just wish there was more closet for hanging up clothes for two people. Earlier today we went to the Exclusive Reception Cocktail Party for Mariners, the invitation stated 3,4 and 5 star Mariners but the turnout out was do big they had to turn away 3 star Mariners and told us just 4 and 5. I do have some sad news it appears at least here on the Koningsdam they no longer have the Peanut Butter Silk Pie for Embarkation Day 😰. The last time they served it was 28 days ago. Well I think I have caught you up, I definitely cannot wait to get some sleep tonight. I am now been up 17 hours with probably just 3 hours of sleep. Here are some pictures from earlier today.

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 5, 2023 Author #42 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Getting frustrated my pics will not upload. yet internet seems ok thinking too many mb on the basic internet package. I will try fewer photos, that did not do it. I may upgrade tomorrow to the better WiFi that or it is CC, because before I was on ship wifi had the same problem In San Diego, think it is CC not allow pics with more than 3mb 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cbr663 Posted November 5, 2023 #48 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Thanks Lisa for sharing your pics from Tamarind. We have Tamarind booked for the first night of our upcoming cruise and after viewing your pics, we have decided we will cancel. We booked it because we haven't been in a long time and was hoping to avoid the confusion that happens in CO on the first night. We have decided we will take our chances with CO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
